Yes, you read that correctly.
My children attend Harvard ... from our living room ...and yours can too.
No, I’m not talking about secret Ivy League connections or million-dollar donations. I’m talking about something that most people don’t even realize exists:
🎓 Harvard offers free online courses for students of all ages ...including YOUR homeschooler.
Why This Is a Homeschool Parent’s Dream
I’m all about creating educational experiences that align with our family’s values, goals, and freedom-based lifestyle.
So when I found out that Harvard’s Online Learning platform had dozens of FREE, self-paced classes available on everything from science and social justice to computer programming and personal development… I said: SIGN 👏🏽 US 👏🏽 UP.
And here’s the kicker:
✅ It’s legit.
✅ You can do it from anywhere.
✅ And yes — it looks amazing on homeschool portfolios and transcripts.
A Few Courses Your Child (or YOU) Can Start Right Now:
- The Science of Well-Being – a favorite in our house for teens and adults alike.
- CS50: Introduction to Computer Science – Harvard’s most famous coding course!
- Resilient Leadership– this one will have your whole family in debating (in the best way).
- Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies – perfect for our business-minded homeschoolers.

Homeschool Perk: This Counts.
I get asked all the time, “Can this go on their transcript?”
Absolutely.
These courses are:
✔️ Self-paced
✔️ Professionally taught by Harvard faculty
✔️ Designed for real-world application
They’re great as:
- Electives
- Advanced learning opportunities
- Independent study units
- Dual-enrollment style enrichment
What About Parents?
Don’t sleep on this, fam. This isn’t just for the kids.
You can use these same courses to sharpen your skills, pivot careers, or start something new while you homeschool ... whether it’s digital marketing, coding, entrepreneurship, or wellness.
Remember: when you grow, your whole family grows with you.
So... What Are You Waiting For?
We’re not just homeschooling to escape something.
We’re doing it to design a life we love.
And if that life includes taking a Harvard course from your kitchen table, barefoot and in PJs ...so be it. 😉
